We are embarking on an upcoming parish initiative called the Disciple Maker Index. This is part of a 3 year program parishes across the Diocese are participating in called Next Generation Parish.

The Disciple Maker Index begins with asking all parishioners to complete a survey about discipleship. The survey will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow. All responses will be confidential, and the parish will only receive information about the community as whole. 

The survey will run from February 26 to March 31. The survey will be available online (using this link: https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/gd6a9g). We are encouraging parishioners to please complete the survey online if they are able.

Paper copies are available at the Parish Office and at our church buildings. Completed paper copies can be returned to the Parish Administrative Center.

This is different than the Parish Census. Our Census was to update information for our parishioners, while the Disciple Maker Index is a survey conducted by the Catholic Leadership Institute. We requested the highest level of involvement with the Next Generation Parish program, because we know the value of hearing from our parishioners.  

Our goal is to have as many parishioners as possible complete the survey. This information will be invaluable and our various ministries as we plan for the future and strive to be the best disciples we can be. 

Thank you for helping with this important project!
